Networking: Change of Guard

The biggest upheaval in the Channel Satisfaction Survey 2015 took place in the networking category. Cisco was dethroned as the most popular channel-friendly networking vendor for the first time in the history of the survey; HP Networking was the gainer emerging as the new darling of the channel.
